Title: Indicating the required location of a component to be assembled on a workpiece
IPC: H05K13/00
Filed: 1981-11-27
Abstract: Apparatus for indicating to an operative the required location of a component to be assembled on a printed circuit board comprises a projection unit having a projector (45) for optically projecting a sequence of component images formed in a liquid crystal unit onto a circuit board placed on an assembly surface (39) and includes means for generating a video signal for the liquid crystal unit to form therein a representation of the component. The liquid crystal unit is associated with light producing and condensing means to illuminate the formed image and comprises an array of liquid crystals and associated scan electronics to address a given crystal. A programmer (30) is provided for establishing the sequence of component images for a given circuit board and is connectable to a microprocessor of the projection unit. Using a keyboard (24) the projection unit (45) is instructed to project a selected component image stored in an electronic pattern library of the projection unit onto the circuit board, which image can then be moved to the required position. <IMAGE>

Title: Transmission control system in a vehicle
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1979-01-24
Abstract: An automatic transmission comprises a mechanical transmission 11, gear synchronizers 22 and 23, and a clutch 12 which have been automated by the addition of electro- mechanical and pneumatic operators 15, 18, and 21 and an electronic control system 24. The control system receives operator commands regarding the mode of operation, which can be automatic or manual, and monitors throttle position, engine speed, transmission countershaft speed (representing transmission input speed), and drive shaft (vehicle) speed. By utilising this information, the control system 24 selects the optimum gear ratio, effects synchronization of the selected transmission gear elements, controls clutch engagements and shuts off the fuel supply in accordance with a logic program. In selecting the optimum gear ratio, the control system changes the engine speed at which a shift is commanded in accordance with predetermined changes in throttle position (e.g. in accordance with the differential of a signal representing throttle position) and also in accordance with the direction of the previous shift and in accordance with vehicle acceleration and deceleration. <IMAGE>

Title: Closed-loop correction system for CRT-type display
Inventor: DENHAM DAN F
IPC: G09G1/00
Filed: 1982-05-06
Abstract: A closed-loop system employing feedback techniques to accomplish automatically both convergence adjustment and geometric alignment within a CRT-type display device. A plurality of feedback elements disposed within the CRT produce, upon excitation by a passing electron beam, feedback signals indicative of the beam's position in at least two dimensions. A processor converts the signals into correction factors for subsequent application to the convergence and deflection waveforms controlling the beam's movement. Inclusion of the feedback elements within the tube enclosure permits the convergence and geometric adjustment processes to be performed without apparent system interruption and without operator intervention. <IMAGE>
